Scientists have proved that the "Hobbits" Indonesia is a separate species


We found evidence that the Indonesian "Hobbit" is a separate species, not degenerates, the Cro-Magnons. This is the conclusion of scientists pushed the analysis of teeth beings.

The remains of Homo floresiensis (Homo floresiensis) was found in 2003 on the Indonesian island of Flores in the Liang Bua cave. It was found several skeletons whose age was 17-95 thousand. Years. In the media these creatures once called "The Hobbit": the fact that their growth was only one meter. Although Homo floresiensis brain volume was very small, being able to handle the stone tools.

Time passed, and the new fossils of Homo floresiensis was found. Therefore, some experts said that this is a Cro-Magnon man with congenital abnormalities. At various times, they have pointed to such violations like microcephaly, Laron syndrome, cretinism, and others. But now the Japanese Yosuke Kaifu (Yousuke Kaifu), together with other scientists found strong evidence of the veracity of the theory of "The Hobbit" as a separate form. We studied the structure of their teeth, and then compare them with the teeth Homo habilis and Homo sapiens.

The main difference between the teeth "hobbit" was their relative simplicity compared with samples of modern man. Canine premolar teeth were similar to the inhabitants of the late Pleistocene. In general, the unit of teeth "Hobbits" had much in common with the device Homo erectus. Therefore, they can hardly be considered as Cro-Magnon.

But where were themselves stunted strange creatures? Kaifu and other scientists has placed emphasis on the so-called the phenomenon of "insular dwarfism". Before us, perhaps descendants of Homo erectus, the size of which decreased because of the life conditions of island isolation.

Hobbits - that's fantasy works of John. R. R. Tolkien called the people whose representatives had a growth of about 90 cm. According to the book, these creatures are almost never left their land. There were three ancient tribe, later mixed in one large.

Anthropologist Stanislav Drobyshevskiy, incidentally, believes that "The Hobbit" from the island of Flores could well serve as a prototype of the creatures from the works of Tolkien. For information about the extinct about 12 thousand. Years ago, "dwarfs" could be transmitted in myths and legends. However, with the same success the prototype imaginary creatures might be some small monkeys.

Himself Yosuke Kaifu said that scientists expect to unity on the question of origin of Homo floresiensis is not necessary even now, after a new study. In due time, by the way, he argued that Homo floresiensis - this is not a separate species. So that a new round of "confrontation" in the scientific world can still take place.
